The Erasmus+ project “Smart Green Transport in VET” has reached its final phase, which includes the multiplier events. The multiplier events are organized to share the intellectual outcomes of the project with a broader audience and further promote the objectives and results of Smart Green Transport. In this final phase of the project, each partner was expected to hold a multiplier event. All events took place between September and October 2023.
On September 6th in Las Rozas, Spain, at the headquarters of the Internet of Things (IoT) Cluster of the Community of Madrid, we focused on IoT and all its possibilities for application in the field of education. The event “EDUCATION IoT & STEAM” was organized by ITE Network, with the support of Las Rozas Innova, a member of the IoT Cluster, and the Department of Economy and Employment of the Las Rozas de Madrid City Council. Luis Ayala Rodrigo, a professor at the Complutense University of Madrid, discussed “Educational Experiences in IoT at the University Level.” Selina Martin, President of ITE Network, emphasized the importance of IoT education at all levels of education. Carlos Pérez Ballesteros, a professor at EFA Moratalaz, presented the online course for trainers and teachers and showcased the 5 prototypes of hydrogen-powered vehicles controlled through IoT.
On Friday, October 20th, in Valdepenas, the second event in Spain was also held. Organized by EFA Moratalaz, the event, titled “Innovating in Challenging Times,” shared the milestones of the remarkable journey we have embarked on over the past two years. However, the event introduced new elements to the project: distinguished speakers took the audience on a captivating journey into the world of innovation and inventions from the 1940s. It was a unique opportunity to explore the past and draw inspiration for our sustainable future.
Enaip FVG organized two project presentation in Cervignano and Udine. The first event was aimed at teachers and students of the ISIS Bassa Friulana and took place on Tuesday, October 3rd in Cervignano del Friuli (UD). The second event, held at the Istituto Salesiano G. Bearzi on October 6th, was specifically dedicated to organizations that are part of the Effepi Association, which brings together all the institutions in Friuli Venezia Giulia that offer professional VET courses for young people graduating from middle schools. The project generated significant interest among the nearly 200 total participants in the two events.
On October 20th, at the Cypria Hotel’s conference room in Athens, Innovation Frontieres presented Smart Green Transport. Participants showed great interest in the project presentation because there is a lack of awareness regarding sustainability in transportation in Greece.
On October 24th, at the headquarters of the Provincial School Inspectorate of Prahova, Romania, the fourth multiplier event took place. The project presentation, including navigation on the project’s website and the eLearning platform, was followed by a discussion on the future challenges involving physics and computer science teachers participating in the project.
